“The Belgrade Conference is over. The final document did not reflect the five-month discussions on various aspects of the fulfilment of the Helsinki Final Act and particularly on the fulfilment of its humanitarian aspects. The whole of the final documents contains no mention of human rights and is a step backwards from the Act itself, which confirms the indissoluble connection between the observance of human rights and security and cooperation …
“We also see a potential danger in the final document: the conditions of the 1980 Madrid Conference will be in part determined by this document, which contains no mention of human rights …”
